Question

write the equation of the line with the two points given, in slope intercept form (-12,14) and (6,-1)

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -5/6+4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form: y=mx+b

To find the slope: m=y2-y1 / x2-x1

So you subtract, divide, and simply  $\frac{-1-14}{6-(-12)} =\frac{-15}{18} =-\frac{5}{6}$

Then use point-slope form to yet your slope-intercept form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

You use the first point that is (-12,14)

$y-14=-\frac{5}{6} (x-(-12)\\\\y-14=-\frac{5}{6} x-10\\\\y=-\frac{5}{6} +4$
